For those curious about Raf Simons’s departure from Dior, Netflix has added a documentary about his time there. And that rare thing — a Thanksgiving movie — should ease you into the week ahead of the holiday.

What’s Streaming Now

DIOR AND I (2015) This documentary follows the Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons in his role as Christian Dior’s artistic director and the creation of his first haute-couture collection. Mr. Simons announced last month that he would leave Dior, and the film depicts a segment of his time there. (Netflix) (Image: Mr. Simons)

PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES (1987) You can give thanks for John Hughes’s comedy of travel errors, which stars Steve Martin as an uptight businessman and John Candy as his slovenly bumbler of a travel companion. They’re each just trying to get home from New York to Chicago for Thanksgiving. But, wouldn’t you know it, their transit travails somehow make the holiday more meaningful. (iTunes)
